Wales v All Blacks

The Reece try took advantage of Wales being a man down. But the continuity close in from the ABs forwards set the platform.
The following exit was most unusual. A couple of hit ups and Christie feeds DMac. Might not have hit it perfectly but it was refreshing to see our 10 kicking for touch instead of our 9 kicking another incontestable contestable

I thought the ref was fine
We've certainly had worse.
I didn't blow up at any of her calls in play, so sm iInterested how our Welsh posters saw her given my lack of indignation.
She was bullied out of awarding Jordan's try though.
She'll do plenty more tests.
I thought WJ was held up
Don't agree. She was talked out of trusting the evidence of her own eyes by an inconclusive super slomo.
Not true mate - the TMO showed her the footage and said he couldn’t overrule and she went against her own decision anyway

I thought she made a very reasonable decision

Plumtree off for YC hit on WJ. Those in passes aren't very good for us, every one resulted in our carrier getting smashed.
Our forwards have carried up the guts most of the game, as have the midfield. And DMac has played a decent controlling hand from 10. It sets up another try for Reece. I know it's only Wales. But the game plan felt so much better suited to our players. And I wonder why it's taken this long to play this way with this personnel. Razor and his coaches have really dug themselves this hole trying to be far too cute

For a couple of minutes we get very narrow, according to Marshall it's 13 phases and CC storms over for the score. That's more like it. Not given after Kirifi knocks it on in the ruck. The way we set that up was very good though, I like the direct play. If the Welsh player was responsible for the knock on, would that have been a YC last weekend? Not that I want him to get a YC, but Cody got pinged for something similar
Watching in a pub I went to loo after first replay, which to me seemed not clear and obvious, so don’t know if there was a clear angle. In any event World Rugby needs to bin the YC onus. Then a minute later another TMO go with referee ignoring them and changing her original decision.
It’s actually painful to watch this version of rugby.

I said use AI as TMO and everyone laughed. But human error and poor judgement is killing things. If doctors can use AI to help diagnose medical problems we can use it to fix the TMO.
WR decide that constitutes YC and RC, they decide what protocols to go through. Then on game days TMO and refs fuck it up by departing from these guidelines. Set the limits, show AI what is YC and what is RC and what is not, let it make the decisions. And it will learn as it goes along

Only saw highlights but I'm very over Tony Johnsons commentary. When Reece scored you'd be mistaken for thinking the ABs had won the world cup, not put 50 on a pretty woeful team.
Or Justin Marshall talking up Will Jirdan anytime he got near the ball.
Marshall has been picked on enough, I thought it was time to move onto someone else.
He's a curates egg. Love some of his analysis and the level it's pitched and his excitement about great play no matter where it comes from, but he can be a wee bit boring and samey too. Dislike his clear love for certain players

Yeah okay.
"I can't overule you" ... but I am.
These pricks talk in code. He 100% told her to overule herself.

Didn't he tell her to stick with her on-field decision and she said, 'no, I can see the ball was actually held up before I awarded the try'?

I'm not surprised. Watching it in real time it looked as obvious as an obvious thing on national obvious day.
Telegraphed passes are hospital passes.

@canefan said in Wales v All Blacks:
I thought she had a very good game, seems to have a good feel for the game, kept control but did not seem overly intrusive by today's standards. I'd happily have her ref us again
Apart from taking forever to disallow a Will Jordan try that she had clearly seen him ground, I thought Hollie Davidson had an excellent game.
I'd be happy for her to ref us again next year.

@sparky said in Wales v All Blacks:
Should we concerned that a Welsh guy that few of us have heard of scored three tries down Will Jordan's wing?
Our defence down both sidelines was horrendous today.
-
Tackling and defensive positioning veered wildly from mediocre to crap, you'd think the ABs were playing a man or two down most of the game... assistant coach position needs a good hard look at.

Saw another one earlier in the match too. Like shooting fish in a barrel
